Of course, Song Yang knew what Bledsoe Jayden was doing in Silicon Valley, but sometimes it was not that easy to deal with a person who had no shame.

Song Yang was not in a good position to deal with that guy himself now. Apart from making a mess, he would not get any benefit from dealing with such a bad guy.

Only when Bledsoe Jayden makes a mistake, Song Yang only needs a gentle push to make him dig a hole and jump in!

After returning to San Jose, Song Yang basically traveled between the University of San Jose and the icq office building.

Whitman's arrival was also a big change for Irene, and Irene's way of handling things became much more sophisticated.

Song Yang didn't need to worry about Double Click. After Whitman joined, he immediately launched a fierce attack on Double Click's opponents and stole many investors from Internet advertising companies such as l90 and vclk. This made the Internet Digital Company realize at this time that

Double-click on the new female leader, her fighting style is a bit fierce, and it seems that she doesn't give them a way to survive at all.

Hotmail mailboxes are still extremely popular. The number of global users has continued to explode. Starting from reaching three million users, it has launched a charge towards the threshold of five million. For Hotmail, it seems to be just a matter of time.

.

But in the technology industry, Hotmail is not alone. Both new and old players are trying their best to show off their presence.

Although countless players flood into the Internet every day, the entry of Enron, a "rookie", is particularly eye-catching.

Now Enron Online's advertisements have begun to appear overwhelmingly. Whether it is the Internet or Wall Street, Enron Online's advertisements can be seen everywhere.

It's not even limited to America. In those old financial places in London, Enron Online's advertisements are still loud.

"The next decade belongs to Enron", "The future global energy trading center is Enron Online", and other inflammatory slogans continue to sound. Enron Online has been shaped into a new "wealth mecca". It seems that as long as Enron Online

Open a trading seat and you'll have a lot of money at your fingertips.

The overwhelming publicity made Enron Online quickly known by the financial industry. The Enron Energy Exchange, which has not yet been launched, has been touted to be on par with the Chicago Board of Trade and the London Gold Exchange.

Countless players in this industry are gearing up to join Enron Online and flex their muscles in the new "online energy trading market."

Especially with Enron announcing that it will spend heavily to build a "Houston Energy Exchange" building in Houston, Enron's online publicity has reached its peak!

Enron spent more than 250 million US dollars on this building. Once this energy exchange is completed, it will become the largest trading center in the world. Countless people who saw this news began to believe in online energy.

The deal is promising, otherwise why would Enron invest hundreds of millions of dollars to build just one building?

And just after Enron released the news, the land around the Houston Energy Exchange was excluded, and land prices began to skyrocket. Securities, investment banks, banks, hotels and other companies poured in, all wanting to take over the land around the Houston Energy Exchange.

, they all want to use Enron's influence to develop their own businesses.

Think about it, once this energy exchange is completed, energy investors from all over the world will come here, and they are also the richest people in the world. Who wouldn’t flock to this group of people?!

Houston and even Texas were naturally happy to see this phenomenon happen, and even contributed to it, transferring a large piece of land to Enron at a low price to build a building.

When Song Yang saw these reports, he could only sigh, Enron is really a giant now, and every move can affect countless companies, industries, and even a city, all following Enron!

In addition to Enron, a new player, old players also performed fiercely. Netscape, which completed its listing, handed over its answer sheet for the third quarter, with revenue exceeding US$42 million, a record high. In a single quarter, compared with the previous quarter's revenue,

Revenue has doubled, which is equivalent to three times last year’s revenue!

As soon as the news came out, Netscape's stock price immediately rose sharply, directly exceeding $120, and it seemed that it was far from reaching its limit.

Countless Internet and technology media began to shout, "The era of Netscape is coming!"

Yahoo, AOL, Double Click, Hotmail, Lycos, etc. are all not enough in front of Netscape. The center of the Internet is Netscape. This is the voice in the hearts of countless people.

The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, etc. all began to report on Netscape again, "Netscape is the one that changed the world. Since Netscape went public, everything has been different..."

This is almost equivalent to the major media publicly acknowledging the role of Netscape. It has established a new era and can be compared with Microsoft.

But what really caught people's attention was that after these media reports, Wall Street took the lead. Goldman Sachs stepped forward and announced that it would switch Microsoft's stock from buy to hold. Although Goldman Sachs said it was still optimistic about Microsoft, this kind of statement

Investors understand with their feet.

Microsoft's stock price fell sharply that day. You must know that Microsoft's stock price rating was downgraded for the first time in more than ten years since its listing. It is self-evident what this means.

Netscape President Baxter, on behalf of the two founders of Netscape, accepted an exclusive interview with Time Magazine with great glory. It was really Jim Clark and Marc Andreessen who almost vomited when they got into this thing.

I have been interviewed by Time Magazine countless times, so this time it was left to Baxter to steal the spotlight.

Baxter's interview with Time magazine still continued Marc Andreessen's style of cynicizing Microsoft.

"Microsoft is wrong. The future world will not be computers, but the Internet!"

When saying this, Baxter gave a smile that was enough to mock Bill Gates, "The Internet is a place that does not tolerate mistakes. Microsoft can no longer find the right path, just like a skyscraper, a certain

If there is a problem with the foundation, no matter how brilliant the building is, when you hear a "squeaking" sound coming from the building, be careful not to be hit by the building!"

When the Times reporter heard this, he immediately turned to Baxter and said, "President Baxter, do you think Microsoft will fall?"

"I never said that, it's just a little metaphor." Baxter said with a smile, without any intention of explaining anything, just telling the world that Microsoft is the building with a problem with its foundation.

The reporter from Time Magazine was also embarrassed. Seeing that Baxter was unwilling to confront Microsoft head-on like Marc Andreessen, he asked a different question, "So when do you think this building with a foundation problem will be renovated?"

Falling down?"

"I don't know, but it's possible that a small earthquake could cause disaster. Netscape is about to launch a new browser that will change the era!"

At the last moment, Baxter hinted, although he did not say it explicitly, but he hinted that when Netscape's new browser is launched, Microsoft's time is probably running out.

Song Yang looked at the reports on the TV screen. Through the screen, he could feel Netscape's pride at this moment, its eagerness to challenge the giant Microsoft and replace it. It was not too obvious.

I checked several channels, and as long as they were on technology, Internet, and economic channels, they were almost inseparable from the vocabulary of Netscape, which shows how popular it is.

There is still no movement from Microsoft, which seems to be still immersed in the joy of the Windows 95 system that was just released this year. 15 days after Netscape went on the market, Microsoft released the new system.

Priced at US$210, it has sold 27 million copies in less than half a year, setting a series of new records in the software industry. Industry experts believe that its sales will exceed 40 million units this year!

It is a true reflection of Microsoft this year that it is reluctant to accept money. It simply does not want to make too much money. Looking at it this way, Netscape, which only shouts at the Internet that does not make money, and repeatedly provokes it, seems to be somewhat "nothing to be afraid of".

Song Yang didn't know when the behemoth Microsoft would set its sights on Netscape. Goldman Sachs' lowering of Microsoft's stock price this time should more or less alert Microsoft.

"Song!"

While Song Yang was watching the media reports, Gallo walked into the rented villa in San Jose and said to Song Yang, "The person recommended by Prince is here!"

After taking one last look at the TV, Song Yang stood up and walked outside. What Song Yang didn't know was that at this moment, the atmosphere at Microsoft's headquarters was also very solid, and it felt a bit like facing a formidable enemy.

Goldman Sachs lowered its stock price, which really poured cold water on Microsoft, which was still in the midst of a carnival.

When the news from Wall Street came, Bill Gates in the Emerald City of Seattle took a serious look at the Netscape browser for the first time.

Now Bill Gates is in the most glorious moment of his life. He will definitely become the richest man in the world this year. Microsoft is already the global software overlord and a symbol of the technology industry. Bill Gates is very ambitious, so why should he be the second one?

Bill Gates didn't pay too much attention to Anderson and other stuff.

In the past few years, the media has brought up countless second Bill Gates. In the end, it is not up to him to be the real one, but those second ones have already lost their cool.

But this time, when the new system was just released and sales were flying high, and the stock price was soaring, Goldman Sachs suddenly lowered Microsoft's stock price, which made the Microsoft board of directors very dissatisfied, and also made Bill Gates check again.

Netscape is not taken seriously.

The product department manager of Microsoft reported the status of Netscape to Bill Gates. He and the people in the technical department had reported to Bill Gates before, but at that time Bill Gates was entirely focused on the new system and did not pay much attention to it.

Care about Netscape.

"The current Netscape Navigator browser has been updated to multiple versions, and its market share has exceeded 80%. There is news that the Netscape browser will enter overseas markets next quarter!"

"Moreover, I heard that the next updated version of Netscape browser will support plug-ins and programs developed in Java language..."
